Message from Fr. Mark
Blessed Holy Week & Happy Easter Greetings,
I would like to begin by sharing the news of our Principal beginning next school year - Mrs. Amelia Petersen. Mrs. Petersen has been helping out a great deal this year and is also very creative with the marketing/promotion of our school. I think this will add to our academic excellence and our school community. Please congratulate Mrs. Petersen when you see her!
Don’t forget, Easter is a time to celebrate the Resurrection of Christ. We celebrate in faith the fact that salvation is won for all who choose the ways of Christ. It is not about a break in spring but a true celebration in faith. Remember Church!
God Bless,
Fr. Mark

Greenhouse - Petunia Planting
Former Shepherd Art Teacher, Mrs. Heather Coughlin, returned to school this week to share her plant expertise and help students plant petunias. The petunias are now growing in Trent's Greenhouse. Students will take turns caring for the plants that are intended to be a beautiful 'surprise' for Mother's Day. Special THANKS to everyone who made sure the greenhouse was ready for our planting project and to Barb Welsh, Tanya Rentmeester, and Davin Rentmeester for helping Mrs. Coughlin and the students on Wednesday!
